At World Film Geek (worldfilmgeek.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data you may share with us. Because we are an independent film and media review publication rather than a commercial streaming platform or ticket vendor, we collect very little personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
1. Information We Collect
We keep data collection to a strict minimum because we do not operate user accounts, process payments, or host commercial transactions.
- Automatically Collected Data: When you visit our site, our servers may automatically log standard technical data provided by your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the referring page, and the timestamps of your visits.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use basic cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our site, which helps us improve our review layouts, film coverage, and overall user experience.
- Affiliate and Outbound Link Tracking: When you click an outbound link to a ticketing partner, streaming service, or retailer from our site, tracking cookies may be set by the third-party platform to credit the referral. We do not track or store your personal purchases, viewing history, or activity on third-party sites.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited data we collect strictly for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and optimize worldfilmgeek.com.
- To analyze site traffic and user behavior so we can improve our review formats and navigation.
- To comply with legal obligations and ensure transparency in our operations.
3. Third-Party Links and External Sites
World Film Geek features links to external streaming platforms, film festivals, ticketing sites, and partner networks.
- Once you click an outbound link and leave worldfilmgeek.com, you are subject to the privacy policies and terms of that external operator.
- We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the data collection practices, privacy policies, or security measures of any third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may only disclose technical data or non-personal analytics under the following limited circumstances:
- To trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.
- When required by law, court order, or governmental regulation to protect our legal rights or comply with a judicial proceeding.
5. Age Restrictions
Our content is intended for film enthusiasts of all ages, though certain reviews or editorial discussions cover mature cinematic content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals in violation of applicable data protection laws. If you believe a minor has provided unauthorized data to us, please contact us so we can promptly address it.
6. Your Data Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to:
- Request access to any personal data we hold about you.
- Request the deletion or correction of your technical data.
- Opt-out of analytics cookies by adjusting your browser settings.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our editorial operations, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted directly on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
